Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Arizona

At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, what we do -- and do best -- is teach the science, practice, and business of the world of aviation and aerospace.

Since it was founded just 22 years after the Wright brothers' first flight, the University and its graduates have built an enviable record of achievement in every aspect of aviation and aerospace.

The curriculum at Embry-Riddle covers the operation, engineering, research, manufacturing, marketing, and management of modern aircraft and the systems that support them. The University engages in extensive research, consulting, and related activities that address the unique needs of aviation, aerospace, and related industries. Residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Prescott, Arizona, provide education in a traditional setting, while an extensive network of more than 130 centers throughout the United States and Europe and a web-based distance learning program serve civilian and military working adults.

Accreditation

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, Telephone: 404-679-4501) to award degrees at the associate, bachelor, and master levels. The bachelor degree programs in aerospace engineering and computer engineering at the Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses, along with civil engineering and engineering physics at Daytona Beach, and electrical engineering at Prescott, are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The bachelor degree curricula in aeronautical science at both residential campuses are accredited by the Council on Aviation Accreditation (CAA). Daytona Beach campus business programs, both graduate and undergraduate, are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs and by the CAA.

Federal Aviation Administration-approved certification programs include maintenance technology (airframe and power plant); flight (private, commercial, instrument, multi-engine, flight instructor, and instrument flight instructor ratings); and flight dispatch.

Specialized Training

Embry-Riddle, in partnership with airlines and corporations, provides nondegree customized flight training through the Commercial Airline Pilot Training (CAPT) program, which qualifies candidates for first-officer positions in transport-category aircraft. Embry-Riddle also offers training for aviation maintenance professionals through the Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) department. These programs include FAA-approved airframe and powerplant mechanic certification and a specialization in avionics line maintenance. Federal Communications Commission certification training is also available through AMT.

Extended Campus /Distance Learning

Since 1970, Embry-Riddle has provided educational opportunities for civilian and military professionals in aviation and aerospace who are unable to attend classes at one of the University's residential campuses.

To meet the varied needs of adult working students, Embry-Riddle established the Extended Campus, with courses being delivered through the College of Career Education. The College of Career Education offers academic programs both in the classroom through a network of more than 130 centers throughout the United States and Europe and through web-based distance learning.

The Extended Campus maintains a comprehensive system of academic quality control for its courses. The curricula, academic standards, and academic policies are the same throughout the University and are modified only to accommodate certain requirements resulting from different delivery methods.
